Can you explain what the jelly and nail polish are for?

Killer ,Are we talking clear nail polish ? used for peeling pinstripes,maybe to keep the upper edge of your window tint from peeling ?

Petroleum jelly,
used to condition the rubber around the door jams,trunk etc ?

**not trying to hi-jack**

Are any of these tools made for removing the white stuff that is stuck to my trim/doorhandles on my durango after polishing with SSR2.5 and SSR1.0.

Q-tips, the factory V8 badges and name badges on my truck get stuff caked in then, plus its the only way to get dirt and whatever else cleaned out.

I use the Meguiars Tripple Duty Detail Brush. The brush has 3 seperate brisstles the can be used for removing wax and also great for the Interior.

I like your ideas and there are several more ....

Clear nail polish --- fill in paint dings to avoid rust spots , chips in painted wheels.

Petroleum Jelly --- coating chrome badges to protect while buffing, paint repair, and yes to lubricate items like the rubber.

Don't use petro jelly on rubber or vinyl, it will break them down. Spray silicone lubricant onto a rag and use on door seals and "non-appearance" rubber items. I think 303 protectant sounds like it would be good, but I have not used it.

(don't use it on OTHER rubber items either or you're asking for trouble!!!)

The spray silicone is good in winter months. It keeps the door seals from freezing shut if you use it once a month or so.

3X5 notecards get crud out of all the crevices on the interior. One pack goes a long way and the paper grabs crud pretty well.
